Bug Report
Description
When "Hide views count" is enabled, the views number is hidden but the separator dot (·) between views count and the date/published info remains visible, creating an orphaned dot.
Steps to reproduce
- Enable "Hide views count"
- Go to any YouTube video page
- Look at the metadata line below the video title
- Observe the orphaned dot where views were hidden
Expected behavior
The separator dot should also be hidden when views count is hidden.

Research direction
Search the JavaScript extension code for the “Hide views count” setting and the metadata separator rendered between the views and date or published information. Reproduce the issue on a YouTube video with the setting enabled, then verify that the separator disappears with the views count and remains when views are shown.
